Interesting game, I like the story. picks up quickly with enemies

chiguireitor 2013-12-16 04:38

Amazing, although its just a platformer, it is very humorous. Loved the graphics

the 2013-12-16 14:42

Really enjoyed it, holistic thing.

zebi24 2013-12-16 15:08

Nice. Pretty long too... Good job!

sonnybone 2013-12-17 22:42

This is the best fucking song I've ever heard. No lie.
Infinite stars.

Loved the story and the characters and muffin gun and... ugh the mayor! ... lol I only got one.

Great job making something so simple yet so captivating.

chuigum 2013-12-17 23:14

Very nice, love the graphics! Fun too, and awesome music by the way

Magnus 2013-12-17 23:16

Not going to lie, at first i wasnt looking forward to it but once i was healed and the music changed it was really cool. I love the characters

derdragon 2013-12-17 23:20

Muffin gun. Damn, now I'm even more hungry...

bradleypollard 2013-12-17 23:21

I won! Jumping one block high jumps was a little finicky, however really neat game. I liked the muffin gun and nonsensical plot.

plaw 2013-12-17 23:24

Lovely game. I love the muffin-gun :D

Just got a solid yellow screen. Using Chrome browser on Mac.

I found the game a nice change of pace from other entries, but I wasn't engaged enough to stay with it long.

I liked that it was more story focused and presented me with a somewhat intriguing area to explore immediately. As soon as I went into the cave though to find that the enemies were one hit send you back to a checkpoint machines I wasn't as thrilled playing it anymore.

Another thing too, I found the platforming a tad floaty for precise movement. It's kind of minor, but since the area's designs are crafted to only allow one way up/down it led to some frustration needing to repeat the same jumps again.

It's weird though because even though it may seem I didn't really enjoy my time with the game... I kind of sort of did? I think it was mostly the dialogue and some witty lines that left a certain charm for me.

Great game, it's got all the great qualities of a much larger game. Can completely imagine all the alien's future adventures already :) Bravo.

hnjslater 2013-12-18 01:06

I got the penny, was that the end? Also if you die and go back to the gun, you get stuck as the enemies are all asleep but if you touch them you die.

ahm99 2013-12-18 05:23

I really enjoyed this one. Very funny. Though there is a glitch where if a scene reloads, any monsters you fed previously will remain sleeping, but can still cause you to go back to the checkpoint. Other than that, good job :)

sekaru 2013-12-18 06:56

Great music and good graphics, pretty cool.

jezzamon 2013-12-18 11:08

Oops, I forgot to upload the source. I'll do that ASAP

jezzamon 2013-12-18 11:21

Yeah, two glitches I'm aware of are:
1. Sleeping enemies become enemies when you revisit places
2. Your health doesn't reset when you respawn (you would normally have 1 extra chance)

aaants 2013-12-18 11:48

Really nice work. Possibly the most 'complete' entry I've played so far. Have some stars good sir!

xrm0 2013-12-18 11:49

I like the graphics. It would be nice if you could jump through platforms, I kept hitting my head against platforms borders.

madflame991 2013-12-18 21:24

Nice game (although I still couldn't get my hand on that missing limb)! Solid entry with a story and everything - good job!

coblynau 2013-12-19 19:20

Good fun platformer. :)

makatak 2013-12-21 00:36

Superb game, really great job on all fronts (music, art, dialogue, everything!)

xezko 2013-12-21 02:34

This game is so charming!
the color changing effect adds the last perfect touch to it's already awesome mood.
Good work!

kyyrma 2013-12-21 12:13

Really fantastic entry. Everything feels solid and polished, and like others have said that music track is great.

alchiggins 2013-12-21 15:58

Well done! I adore the implementation of the muffin gun.

jonask 2013-12-21 16:07

Nice

brighterorange 2013-12-21 20:12

You had me at muffin gun :) Some of the triggers will fire over and over, like if you talk to the Shaman after talking to the mayor, he'll warp in a second time...

jimmypaulin 2013-12-21 20:57

Love love love! This is so full of charm, the way the character inches his/her way along with that poor abused limb… The dialogue was fantastic and very witty. The colour palette changes really broke proceedings up nicely. Controls tuned expertly well, a very accomplished game

rnlf 2013-12-22 01:06

Muffin-powers activate! I liked how this is a violence-free shoot-em-up. Also the colour scheme is really great.

paulloz 2013-12-23 14:04

Loved it, I wanted the story to go on... :)

murilo 2013-12-23 20:55

Hilarious!! And I won! hehe good game, man!

kgs0142 2013-12-24 08:04

It's a pretty cute game lol!

gfm 2013-12-28 04:12

Great game! Found it more moody than funny... anyway, I really like the dialogs! :)

tex-killer 2013-12-29 07:27

Nice game! I feel like I duplicated the Mayor, but that is OK lol
Also, you need to be at an exact spot to win the game

rubna 2014-01-01 13:35

I loved it! Cute little game :3

mcapraro 2014-01-02 06:53

just great! love the graphics, love the feel. congrats on the awesome job!

havana24 2014-01-02 10:41

Ahah cool dialogs and fun game overall! I've finished it so it's a good sign! Congrats! :)

mmickyman 2014-01-02 15:08

I won (and I'm awful at platformer) and was pleased by playing your game. I feel a kind of Game Box Color art vibe too.

stmatn 2014-01-02 23:32

Great game!
One thing that would have been great would have been direct movement control in midair. With that I mean, that the character would keep on moving only, while a direction is kept pressed. But thats no big deal ;)
The graphics style is quite nice! I really liked the "lighting" effect of the background, when in a cave :)
The story is nice and the music fits really well.
Great work! :)

ehtd 2014-01-03 04:29

Great game!

patrickgh3 2014-01-03 06:31

Very charming! I couldn't help but smile.

mephi 2014-01-03 11:44

Nice little platformer with cool graphics and sound!

xanjos 2014-01-03 13:07

Shorter than I expected but still a fun game. Really liked the graphics and audio and I absolutely loved the humour.

somepx 2014-01-04 21:07

Wow, so clean and retro - a good pick!

Jeremias 2014-01-04 21:50

A muffin gun - awesome! The game is very solid and has its own charme, appealing visuals, a nice music loop. Good job!

xhunterko 2014-01-05 00:19

Just a little too short to be honest. Music got annoying after a while though. Not bad!

rxi 2014-01-06 22:53

Really liked the art style, the graphics felt minimal but seemed to have a lot character to them and were overall appealing. The audio was excellent, the quirky and optimistic music felt like something which would not sound out of place humming out of an old CRT television's speaker as bright eyed children sat excitedly in front, clasping firmly the Sega Master System controller.

The dialogue felt fun which was echoed in the game overall. I quite enjoyed the little story and the characters all had a bit of personality to them. I especially liked the fact that the game had a distinct beginning and ending, leading it to feel like a complete little package.

A really excellent effort for 48 hours!

jedi 2014-01-06 23:12

I love it but some of the jumps and back-tracking are just a little teeny bit brutal.

The control seems really fluid and I <3 the muffin gun!

connors 2014-09-08 15:57

MOTHAFUCKIN' MUFFIN GUN.
